Chapter 602 Brandy's Family
"Who are these people? The crew? Or some cultist disguised as a crew?" After Merk and Brandy spent their energy to solve a group of believers, Merk began to collect information on the believers.

He noticed that after each of these weird "crew" took off the crew uniform, there was a logo imprint on the collar of the inner shirt, which was shaped like a twisted white flower with dark blue branches and leaves.

It can be seen from many details that their behavior is similar to fanatics of some mysterious religion.

"This sign is very similar to a large category of dream monsters," Merk said.

"Occam, they are followers of Occam." Brandy looked at them and said a little dull.

Merk raised his head and looked at Brandy: "Do you know them?"

"Hmm." Brandy just hummed vaguely.

After being silent for a while, Merke got up from the believer's corpse and said, "If these XZs have been on the Lilith for a long time, I guess this may be related to the many disappearances on the Lilith."

Brandy nodded.

"My friend, have you been a little absent-minded since the beginning?" Merk asked.

Brandy turned to look at him and said, "Sorry."

"Well, maybe it's a little late to ask, but... well, Brandy, why did you get on this ship?" Merk asked.

Brandy stared at the corpse on the ground for a long time before slowly speaking: "I came here to complete a fateful mission."

Originally thought that Merk's temperament would make jokes here, but Merk kicked away the corpse occupying the chair, then sat on it, lit a cigarette and said, "Well, continue."

"I am a monster hunter. This is the identity that everyone who knows me knows. To be precise, this is the identity that I live on. But besides that, I have another mission. That is to hunt and kill all monsters that come out of the ocean." Pollutants," Brandy said.

"Contamination?"

"It's these things." Brandy pointed to the corpse of the believer on the ground.

"You specialize in killing these things." Merke was not surprised by this.

After working with Brandy for several days, it is not difficult to find that Merk's familiarity with these monsters is not limited to "knowing information" with his observation skills.

He can easily predict the monsters' next attack intentions and action preparations through a little body movement of the monsters, and then use the most labor-saving and simple method to defeat the monsters.

Although the name Monster Hunter can indeed be explained to a certain extent, it is still a bit too much.

Not to mention that Brandy also seems to have a certain understanding of some things about dreams.

"Yes, I often chase their traces, and then hunt them down. I often enter the similar dreams woven by those believers on the way. But the dream of this ship has far surpassed that of ordinary believers. Can reach the level." Brandy said.

"You came to this ship just for the believers on this ship?" Merk asked.

"No, at least I didn't realize there were believers on this ship before encountering the dream." Brandy shook his head in denial.

"Then what exactly is the fateful mission you mentioned?"

Brandy was a little helpless: "Actually, I don't know. It's just that not long ago, I suddenly received a letter from my great-grandfather from a private bank. They said that the letter would be taken out and handed over to him at the right time." His descendants were still alive at that time. And I am the last person in our family."

"The right time is too vague. How does the bank judge when is the right time?" Merk couldn't help questioning.

"In fact, this is not what puzzles me the most." Brandy said, "I opened the letter, and there was no encouragement left by my great-grandfather in that letter. The content conveyed was only one line: we should do what we should It’s done. The enclose of the letter is the ticket for the current voyage of the Lilith.”

"What?" Merke's eyes widened. "There are tickets for the current voyage of the Lilith in the letter? Could it be that your great-grandfather was just teasing you before he died?"

"I went to check the bank's records. Unless the bank was bought and approved, this letter was indeed deposited in the bank decades ago." Brandy shook his head.

Merk frowned, scratching his head in confusion.

"I didn't have any doubts. I followed the instructions in the letter and came to take the Lilith." Brandy said.

"May I ask, isn't your family all...like you?"

Brandy nodded and admitted: "Yes, my family was originally an aristocrat of a country. It started to make a fortune in the early days of the Broken Golden Age, but because it has always been sparsely populated, it has gradually declined. The reason for the decline is because our family inherited from the earliest down mission."

"Hunting the pollutants that come from the sea to the land, that is, the cultists and cults that come from the sea," Merkel said.

"Yes." Brandy said.

"In the end, you came here in a daze." Merke said helplessly.

Brandy said: "Actually, people in our family often have a strange dream since they were young. We dreamed that we took a big ship to a remote island in the far sea, where there was a quiet closed town. Some of us chose to join them and live and work with them in peace and contentment, while some attacked them and were killed by them in their dreams. Some of us walked into a black forest and died in the mouth of monsters disguised as trees inside. A few of them went through the forest and saw a magnificent church, and a group of people who couldn't see the face inside were invited to a banquet."

"This dream is regarded as an indicator to judge our hunting talent. The deeper we go in the dream, the more real and profound we see, the better the talent will be. But this also has a price." Brandy said here , his expression was a little silent.

Merke did not speak, and waited quietly.

"The root of that dream is not a good thing, but we cannot avoid it. Some people will be deeply affected and inspired by the dream, and instead become the tentacles of the ocean. The many civil strife that happened in the family history are also the cause of our family's decline. One of the reasons," Brandy said.

"This is really... a pity." Merke was not good at comforting people, so he could only say this.

"It doesn't matter, I killed all the rest of the family, including my lost brother and sister." Brandy said calmly.

Merkel didn't know what to say.

Ruthless.

"So, after I knew that the Lilith was a big ship, I agreed with what was said in the letter, and felt that this was my mission, or in other words, this was my family's mission. So I came here without hesitation ’” Brandy said.

The amount of information was a bit large, and Merke digested it in silence for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Brother, compared with you, I feel that my reason for boarding the ship is really trivial."

"You are great for your friends, for the many people who are missing on this ship," Brandy said.

Knowing that Brandy was comforting himself, Merk shook his head, reached out and patted Brandy's shoulder: "Although I'm just a little down and out detective, my life is the most valuable, I will accompany you, friend .”

"I will also accompany you to find the truth you want." Brandy replied with a stiff smile on his lips.

The fists of the two touched lightly.

After sitting idle for a while, Merke extinguished his half-smoked cigarette on the believer's corpse, and stood up: "Then, let's take action."

Brandy nodded silently, picked up his weapon and got up.

Walking on the road, Merk suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, Brandy, since you said that dreams are an indicator of your family's talent, what kind of dreams do you have?"

After hesitating for a moment, Brandy replied slowly: "I killed all the creatures I saw on the island, including the black forest, including the people in the church, and destroyed that church. When I woke up, When I was young, my hands were covered with blood that came from nowhere."
